No oral meds just rowasa

My doctor recommended that I do the rowasa enemas at night and not take the oral b/c the side effects are a lot for me. OR SHE SAID take my oral 2 at breakfast, 2 at lunch, 2 at night. Does anyone just do rectal enemas and not oral meds? I guess where my uc is the enemas would reach that spot. She definetly said try it.

Is rowasa just like canasa but in liquid form?

You are thinking of stopping Colazal again? If you do please taper! I ended up in a nasty flare when I quit taking it cold turkey. I always thought that rectal meds were in addition to oral ones. When I was flaring a took 9 colazal....3-3xs/day.

Oh for sure I'm going to taper. Trust me it's a nice thought to do just rectal med, but I want to first try the 2,2,2 and see I feel better on them. I've done so much wrong to myself doing it my way, I don't want to mess up this time.

What do you recommend as far as tapering?
